Antidepressents
Anyone care to share their experience?
I debated whether or not to share all of this here, but I have been seeing a therapist and we decided it may benefit me to try medication for some depression/anxiety issues I've had, much of it related to 3T/loss.
My psychiatrist put me on Celexa 10mg. He warned me that it could cause some nausea at first, but I was not prepared for what came: violent puking all night long. I missed work today and still feel terrible.
I am currently waiting to hear back from the office about what to do next. Im afraid to take more and be super sick again.
I'm so discouraged. I do believe it could help me, but I also can't deal with horrible side effects.
I know there are other ladies here who take meds for anxiety/depression. Anyone have encouragement?

Yuck! Did you call your doc and tell him/her about the puking? If not, I'd do that before taking it again.. just in case. Hopefully it was just a random bug vs the meds.
I am not on a daily med now, but I was in the past. More for anxiety, but same type of drugs. Don't be discouraged. It can take awhile to find "your" med. I went through several before I found one that worked for me. The first one, Paxil, made me feel like crap at first then made me feel like a zombie. The second one, Zoloft, made me feel like my veins were burning. It was awful.. I only took it one time. The third one, Lexapro, was the magic one that worked. And it may take several weeks, even months, to get the full effect. I was on the first med for a good 6-8 weeks before I decided it sucked. The third one took about the same amount of time to fully kick in. Later on, I also tried Celexa but it was at that point I decided I was ready to quit meds (with the exception of the occasional Xanax, which I still take here and there) so I never fully got on it. Some had worse side effects but I really think I had at least mild ones with all of the meds at first.
Hang in there. Finding the right medication is hard, but it'll be worth it. I applaud you for getting help
It was the best decision I ever made and truly turned my darkest days around 
In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

Cinnabun and Junebug say, "Go Wildcats!"
Just a warning, which probably doesn't apply to you yet since you just started, but may help you later on.... Don't stop cold turkey. Follow your doctor's instructions. I learned that one the hard way.
Dr. said to wait until my stomach calms down and then try taking it again. Maybe over the weekend when I don't have to go anywhere if I feel gross.

I was diagnosed with postpartum anxiety. I had huge anger issues and I got SO irritated at my husband for things he was doing (and he was doing nothing wrong). Sometimes I would even get annoyed at things that Parker did (and he's a baby for God's sake...he certainly wasn't doing anything wrong!) It's like I made huge mountains out of molehills in my brain. I wondered if I had PPD, so I went to a psychiatrist that my friend recommended. I was started on Lexapro and it's been great. I haven't had any side effects from it at all. Lexapro and Zoloft are the best tolerated. I would also ask about Zoloft, because it is safe for TTC, pregnancy, and BFing,

Second - please please please do not stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor first, even though it sounds like you just started. As PPs have said, there can be serious side effects.
I am currently on a low dose of generic Effexor and Latuda. It's working really well for me. Latuda is actually the medication that has made me nauseous / vomit, but that could be alleviated by eating about an hour to a half hour before hand, at least 300 - 400 calories. Did your doctor suggest taking the Celexa with food?
Also like PPs have said, it can take a while to find the right antidepressant (or combination thereof) for you, and it can be discouraging. It took me a long time, but now I'm in a really good place - it's so worth it to find the right medications.
